Elin Nordegren, ex-wife to Tiger Woods, is reportedly selling off diamond jewellery he gave her, including a diamond engagement ring.

The ex-wife of Tiger Woods is said to be auctioning off the diamond jewellery that was given to her by the golfer.

Elin Nordegren, who separated from Woods after he cheated on her, has reportedly asked auction house Sotheby's to set up the sale of the items, according to US celebrity website janetcharltonshollywood.

According to the Daily Express, among the items that will go under the hammer is an antique diamond engagement ring, as well as a set of diamond earrings with matching necklace.

Speaking to the newspaper, a friend of Ms Nordegren was quoted as saying: "The jewellery reminds her of the marriage and she is over that."

The auction could fetch as much as £1 million, with the diamond engagement ring said to be worth around £200,000.

Woods, who was on the losing side in the recent Ryder Cup, separated from his wife after admitting he had been unfaithful to her.
